Guinea Fowl for the vineyard

After some research, i am going to put Guinea fowl (guinea hens) free ranging around our vineyard. I hear they eat ticks, Japanese Beetles and other insects. Has anyone had experience with doing this? Would like any insights to your experience.

You'll never see another tick, flea or snake around your home if you have a good number of guinea hens running around. That's the good news. Guinea hens, if you've a bunch, can get quite rowdy in the middle of the night doing their "pet- rock" "pet-rock" until it builds into a cacophony that makes it unable to sleep. It also seemed to me that they were the lesser intelligent of the barnyard fowl. We never saw eye to eye on what was a garden area not to take a dust bath in and what wasn't. I remember seeing two guinea fowl chase one another round and round and round our house during the middle of 100+ degree temperatures until they tired and then. they'd turn and run the other way with the one previously being chased doing the chasing.

All in all though, you know what, I'd do it again.

Good luck!
